Answer 1

I grew up in Gettysburg which was full of ghost stories and staying over at my friend's house one night, which had been a Civil War Hospital for the Confederates, we heard chains being drug across the floor. It didn't faze her a bit...she heard it all the time, but that was the last time I slept at her house.

Then when living in a 100-year-old house in a different town years later, I am fairly certain I had the ghost of a child in that house.

Answer 2

I have a medical office in a small northern California town. The office was converted from a home that was built in the 1880's and owned by a then young doctor who married late in life. His wife and child died in the flu epidemic of 1917. The 5-6 year old daughter is the ghost that I saw.
I was working late on my computer when I heard something behind me: it was a child, smiling toothlessly from over the intake desk. She then disappeared in an instant; prior to her evaporation (?), she looked real and solid and moved with that little girl smile. The doors were locked and alarmed so if she was living, my search of both floors would have found her.
When the place was being rennovated, inside a wall, small toys of yesteryear--like marbles, jacks, trinkets--were found. Inside too was a loaded Derringer, rusted shut at the breech (I unloaded the weapon by soaking it in penetrating oil suspecting that it was loaded). Older residents suspected that in the old days, guns were common barter for country docs; the child may have filtched it and hidden it away.
Over the last five years that I have been there, I have seen her a few more times. From the second floor, where I have a flat, I can hear nightly the sound of little kid's feet scampering around. Many times while working I hear her. I have made a deal with her to be still on the two days a week I am working in the office; a one-sided deal as I just told her from upstairs that I was frightened of her and wish her to be quiet when I and my patients are there.
As I have come to understand, kid ghosts are kids, so they will try the patience of the adult, hence her incomplete compliance.
I will never forget that sweet smile. I just am afraid of being startled.
Once in bed I felt the bedclothes pulling away from me; thinking that my sleep had caused the bulk of them to be off the side of the bed, gravity was pulling them. I pulled them back...to find resistance and a clear tug. I just said, "Very funny, now let me sleep." And she did comply then.
I am now, but once was not, a believer in ghosts.

Answer 3

Wasn't in my town but while visiting a friend in another town. I have to say that i never believed in the paranormal before my experience, I still refuse to believe it really happened. But now I don't systemically reject the paranormal as crap. Especially when I told my brother about it ,and he said he had been thru the same thing, but never talked about it , because he was afraid of been ridiculed.

Answer 4

Never seen one, there is no good reason to believe in them, but I have heard and felt a few things that defy explanation, so you never know.

In the house I grew up in, one night I had 5 friends over, we were all in the kitchen, no one else was home, the cats were outside, and we all heard someone playing the piano. It was in the other room about 30 feet away. Pretty creepy.

Answer 7

When I was about 4 or 5 years old....a dead lady used to cradle me to sleep.She was not scary to me nor did I know she was a ghost. I just remember love going to bed at night because I knew this lady was going to cradle me as soon as I closed my eyes. Years later my mom said we had moved from that house because of strange and unexplained things would always occur in that house.

Answer 8

When i was a kid, i realised that something "else" was in my house,

when i was downstairs with my family i use to hear someone walking upstairs but there was no-one there, i used to also feel someone sitting at the end of my bed but i looked up and no-one was there

also lights turned on by themselves, doors opened, TV turned on, couldn't explain it, still can't.

I'm from Tallaght, Dublin, Ireland, and apparently Tallaght (Tamhlacht in Irish) means "Plague burial".

Answer 9

I had something weird in my last flat, last year.

In the middle of the night, my 3-year-old son was crying. My girlfriend went to see what was wrong. When she came back, she found a cigarette packet on the very centre of her pillow as I was asleep. She told me she threw them across the room. The kid cried again and she went to see him again. I woke up and felt a cigarette packet balancing on my adam's apple. I thought nothing of it as I was half asleep. My girlfriend walked back to our bed and screamed when she saw it.

I asked if she was okay and she explained that she had previously threw it across the room. Naturally, I got very scared and we got the kid and woke up my family at the other end of our village and slept there.

We have now moved but have met previous tennants who have said that weird things went on in that flat. One killed himself before we moved in.

I'm not saying I'm a believer of ghosts but I swear this happened and there is no explanation.

you need to come to Missouri, with the Civil war, there are a lot of ghost stories in the area. I live in Lexington, but there is a book called Missouri Ghosts, I can't remember who wrote it, but if you can find it, check it out and then come up here and check it out!
